Dear ,
The App gathering continues to evolve, and as such, we are continually refining our guidelines. Your application, , contains content that we had originally believed to be within acceptable limits for distribution. However, we have recently customary numerous complaints from our customers just about this type of content, and have misused our guidelines appropriately.
We have settled to sever any overtly sexual content from the App Store, which includes your application.
Thank you for your union in this matter. If you acknowledge you can make the critical changes in view of that that complies taking into consideration our recent changes, we back up you to attain fittingly and resubmit for review.
Sincerely,iPhone App Review
Apple tell that they have a zero-tolerance policy for porn and nudity in the App Store.
Now apps that have no sexual material whatsoever have the very irritating 17+ pop occurring reproach straightforwardly because they be close to to the internet!
Apples stance is nothing rude of hypocritical unqualified that there are many big media players (FHM, proverb etc) that apple allow to purvey their sexually titillating material (which is far afield more damaging than overtly or explicit sexual material at least according to the social scientists).
Why apple & the app buildup could be contributing to sex crimes
Numerous studies have concluded that as pornography increases in availability sex crimes either terminate or realize not increase*
Studies have plus found that bodily punished for porn may contribute to someone committing sex crimes and not the porn use itself.
Michael Goldstein and Harold Kant in their psychotherapy Pornography and Sexual Deviance* (and scientists subsequently similar studies) have found that rapists were more likely (than nonrapists in the prison population) to have been punished for looking at pornography while a youngster.
Other research has shown that incarcerated nonrapists had seen more pornography, and seen it at an earlier age, than rapists.
One concern that has been shown to correlate very when sex offenses is a strict, repressive religious upbringing. The Scientist has reported that a repressive religious upbringing is more of a factor in sex crimes than porn so perhaps apple should be banning every those bible and religious apps instead!
In conclusion
What we can conclude from these studies is that often it is the nonattendance of a sexual outlet or punishment for displaying fascination in sexuality that causes the engagement that produces sex crime. thus why accomplish apple continue to punish healthy sane adults for their healthy natural appetites by denying many of us even mildly sexual apps?
Apples repressed attitude to sexuality and porn could in fact be feign more harm than good! Perhaps apple could gate a password protected app growth for those adults who want to entry porn apps to accomplish so?
The app heap is wonderful, full of great surprises and I love it and I adore apples products but Mr Jobs you are not the arbiter of moral standards and if you are it makes you a dictator not a developer!
Apple in point of fact needs to acquire beyond their Victorian attitudes which could be undertaking far more harm than actually allowing porn apps into the app store!
